Sustainable Farming Takes to the Water
Floating clusters of multiple floating farm units.
Together these clusters create hectares of cultivating space on unused water surfaces.
Floating Food Systems can cultivate a wide variety of vegetables on and with water surfaces.
The modules are naturally cooled by underlying water resulting in minimal use of energy.
Water for cultivation is desalinated and recycled by solar-powered units.
Hydroponics on Water: Maximizing Yields, Minimizing Land Use
Land-free cultivation: Eliminates the need for traditional soil-based farming.
Higher yields: Produces 5-10 times more crops per year than conventional farming.
Natural temperature control: Water provides consistent, optimal temperatures for plants.
Eco-friendly: Can be powered by renewable energy sources.
Sustainable practices: Minimizes fertilizer use and conserves water.
Reduced food miles: Can be located near urban centers, cutting transportation pollution.
Adaptable design: Modular setup allows for customization to fit various spaces.
Supports reforestation: Frees up land, allowing for tree planting to combat climate change.
Deep Water Culture (DWC)
Deep Water Culture (DWC) is a type of hydroponic system where plant roots are continuously submerged in a nutrient-rich, oxygenated water solution.
Plants are typically suspended in net pots above a reservoir, allowing their roots to dangle directly into the water.
An air pump and airstone are essential to keep the solution well-oxygenated, preventing root rot and promoting healthy growth.
DWC is known for its simplicity, low maintenance, and potential for rapid plant development.
5-10 Harvests Per Year
Floating farms presents a unique approach to agriculture by not utilising any land.
This innovative method allows for 5-10 harvests annually, significantly more than conventional farming.
Water Recycling & Desalination
The water in the farms is obtained from a containerised desalination and/or purification process.
It is then treated for optimal conditions and recycled multiple times.
Floating Food Systems works with several technical partners that provide stat-of-the-art modular water treatment solutions.
